Yo Unregistered: Join us for the April 1 meeting when it will be Recovery night. We will have demonstrations working with winching, recovery and spotting. We will meet at 7:30 p.m. at Jefferson County Fairgrounds (not Stevinson Toyota but nearby).

There is a possibility that I, along with 2 other Gotham City Land Cruisers members, will be in Moab on Sunday Feb 9th. We will be there on a trip back east after picking up a FZJ80 in Phoenix. We are considering this side trip to Moab to run something easy, mostly for the scenic experience (the other 2 have been there for Cruise Moab, I'm a virgin)

My questions are:

1. Is it ill advised to go there at this time of year due to the weather?

My buddies have been there and have some ideas on trails that won't be a problem with the 80 with a slight lift, lockers and BFG MTs.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Lockhart Basin Road is close to Moab, is BLM land, and is beautiful. Sometimes the north entry outside of Moab can present a challenge, but you can enter from the south on 211 and just cruise. Food for thought.

I was through there on New Year's and there was snow just about everywhere... most I've seen. Now it could have all melted by now, but it's a definite possibility.. just stick to the sunnier trails (sand flats area, for example) and try to avoid something that descends down into a canyon or something (thinking like BFE, you could get totally stuck down there).

But yes Moab has been, can, and should be wheeled year round! have fun.
